Goose Creek Rods accepts approved projects shipped from customers throughout the United States.
Please contact us before shipping any rod, reel, or other equipment. Do not ship an item until your project has been discussed and accepted by Goose Creek Rods.
Our primary services include fishing rod repair and refurbishing, custom fishing rod building, and vintage rod and reel restoration.
Shipping Items to Goose Creek Rods
Fishing Rods
Fishing rods should be shipped in a strong, heavy-duty PVC or comparable rigid shipping tube with securely fitted end caps.
Protect the rod inside the tube with foam, bubble wrap, a foam pool noodle, or similar cushioning material so the rod cannot move freely inside the tube.
Secure both ends thoroughly with shipping tape.
Please do not ship fishing rods in lightweight cardboard tubes or packaging that can easily be crushed during transit.
Vintage & Collectible Reels
For an approved vintage or collectible reel restoration, please ship the reel only. Do not send the original box, reel cover, pouch, case, sleeve, paperwork, or other collectible accessories. These items are not needed for the restoration and should remain safely with you to avoid the possibility of loss or damage. Pack the reel securely in a sturdy shipping carton with ample cushioning to protect it during transit.
Pack all equipment with the assumption that the package may receive rough handling during transit.
Please Include
Place a note inside the package containing:
- Your name
- Cell phone number
- Email address
- Return shipping address
- A brief description of the project
Customers are responsible for adequately packing equipment shipped to Goose Creek Rods. We strongly recommend purchasing shipping insurance sufficient to cover the full replacement or declared value of the equipment.
Return Shipping to You
Customers are responsible for return shipping and applicable insurance costs. Once your project is complete, Goose Creek Rods will select an appropriate and cost-effective shipping method based on the size, value, and destination of your equipment.
We strongly recommend purchasing adequate shipping insurance and requiring a signature upon delivery, particularly for custom rods, vintage tackle, and heirloom pieces.
Please let us know the amount of insurance you would like and whether you want signature confirmation.
Once a package has been accepted by the shipping carrier, tracking information available to Goose Creek Rods is generally the same information available to the customer. Carrier delays, losses, theft, or delivery issues occurring after the package leaves our shop are outside the control of Goose Creek Rods.
